Li’s research has been published in leading academic journals, including the *Journal of Financial Economics*, *Review of Financial Studies*, and *Management Science*. His work often explores the intricate relationships between corporate decisions, managerial behavior, and shareholder value. A recurring theme in his research is the examination of agency problems, which arise when the interests of managers and shareholders diverge, and how various mechanisms can mitigate these conflicts.
One area of his expertise lies in corporate governance. His research delves into the impact of board structures, executive compensation, and shareholder activism on firm performance. He has investigated how different governance mechanisms influence managerial decisions related to investments, risk-taking, and capital allocation. He also analyzes how specific governance changes affect shareholder value and overall corporate efficiency. His work in this area helps to understand how effective corporate governance structures can lead to better financial outcomes.
Another key research area for Li is M&A. He examines the motivations behind mergers, the valuation effects of acquisitions, and the role of various stakeholders in these transactions. He has explored the impact of managerial incentives on deal outcomes, the synergies that drive acquisitions, and the role of financial advisors in M&A processes. Li also investigates the long-term performance of acquired firms and the conditions that lead to successful integrations. This research is valuable for understanding the complexities of M&A and the factors that contribute to its success or failure.
Furthermore, Li has studied financial distress and bankruptcy. His research focuses on the causes of financial distress, the consequences of bankruptcy, and the strategies that companies can use to avoid or manage financial distress. He investigates the role of debt structure, managerial decisions, and macroeconomic conditions in determining the likelihood of financial distress. His research contributes to a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by financially troubled firms and the strategies they can employ to navigate these difficulties.
